To protect your privacy, mark your events "Not Attending".

Failed to load = private?

[anonymous]

Great tool and public service, though I realize you're still experimenting with the reliability of results. Most of my data shows empty (as it should), but a lot of links say that the data failed to load.

Does loading failure indicate that the data is indeed private or that there's a bug somewhere?

Same thing happening to me, although my picture shows up. Just want to know what it means when you're tool says the data isn't loading.

I don't think they've completely fixed it. It won't list my events, but if I go to a specific one it lists me as having attended...

When I tried to search my name, I didn't even show up. I guess that must mean I'm safe. I was able to find my sisters, so I know the tool can't just be down.

Monitoring Service

I would pay for a monitoring service that would tell me when anything new is exposed by the API. Is anyone doing that or thinking about it?
